#106: From PR Graveyards to Visibility Powerhouse: Antonia Taylor's Story

I speak to PR and content strategist Antonia Taylor about her upbringing in Cyprus, the work ethic shaped by her grandfather and mother, and how she fell into PR through publishing publicity. Antonia shares how childcare logistics and commuting led her to freelance despite warnings of a “PR graveyard,” and discusses why workplace visibility is not neutral, highlighting the “paradox of visibility” where women are overlooked if quiet but punished if they speak up. We also have a juicy discussion on what we hate about International Women's Day,, explore the idea of safety and the personal costs of visibility for women, reframing it as leadership with ripple effects that can shift culture. Find Antonia on LinkedIn here Find her on Instagram hereJoin the conversation with me on Instagram here -----------This episode is supported by Explore Worldwide, who specialize in small group expert led adventures.
